New Pickleball Courts Open in Oyster Bay: The Town of Oyster Bay recently opened new pickleball courts at the Syosset-Woodbury Community Park in Woodbury, addressing the growing demand for the sport in the area. The new courts are now available for residents to enjoy and play.
Growing Popularity of Pickleball
Pickleball, a fast-growing sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, has become especially popular among both seniors and families. The sport is played on a smaller court with paddles and a lightweight plastic ball. With more residents taking up the game, the Town of Oyster Bay responded by adding new courts.
Supervisor Saladino expressed his excitement about the new addition:
“Pickleball is a fun sport for all ages that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. It’s become incredibly popular in our Town, with seniors and families playing daily at our existing courts.
These new courts will be a welcome addition to the community, so grab your sneakers and paddle, and get ready to play one of the world’s fastest-growing sports at the new courts in Oyster Bay.”(Supervisor Saladino)
